West Royalty Home And School ltileets

On Wednesday night. February 18th a meeting of much interest to the community was held at the West Royalty School by the Home and School Association with the president, Barry Bugden in the chair.

A report concerning the newly formed Prince Edward Island Pro- vincial Federation was put before the meeting for discussion and it was agreed that West Royalty will join the Provincial Federation.

The greater part of the evening was spent in discussing the pur- chase of the old school to be used for a Community Hall. This would also provide the school children with a place suitable for music lessons, concerts and the many school activities that require a hall Mr. Lank. Mr. Perry and Mr. John England agreed to inspect the building and report at the next meeting the amount of repair needed and the approximate cost. If the old school is purchased it will be converted and will be known as the West Royalty Com- munity Hail. It can then be used by the community for any social functions.

Many new faces were in evidence at this meeting and it is h ped that the community asra ole will attend the next meeting.

Portraits By

(Continued from Page 1)

The Prince Edward Island artist demonstrates in the present series. an extraordinary ability to depict character and expression. in his treatment of eyes. not alone in oil, but in genuine chalk and even charcoal. This faculty drew par- ticular comment from the many who examined the showing in gal- lery and theatre. some of the sitters are in uniform. some com- missioned their portraits and oth- ers are simply essentially Cana- dian typcs. '

One of the strongest and most impressive of the paintings is that of a sailor in blue-grey coat and hood against a scarlet background. A stubble of red beard tells a story of ceaselem battle with the elements, and fierce blue eyes re- cord unremitting determnation.

Warmly Praised

I-iighiy pleasing is Mr Rogers' treatment of two children. one is a 'girl in a new yellow dress,clasp- mg a white tulip in her small hand. The face tells a story of conflicting pride and slight embar- rassment. A sturdy schoolboy with straight-combed golden hair and a red shirt won high praise from those who studied it in the theatre pit. Among the many attending Mr. Rogers' exhibit on this occasion are Prince Edward Island mem- bers of Commons and Senate. for- mer Islanders now in official posts in the capital. and many of Mr. Rogers' friends and associates of World War II when he was com- missioned to undertake paintings of world leaders including Church- ill, Roosevelt, Alexander and Mac- kcnaie King.

Mr. Rogers is a grandson of the late Hon. Benjamin Rogers, a for mer lieutenant-govemor of P. E. I.. and a cousin of the late Norman Rogers. Minister of National De- fence in Canada's war cabinet. who lost his life in a plane crash. When "back home" the artist lives at Alberton.

Annual Meeting Of Catholic Welfare Bureau

The annual meeting of the Cath- olic welfare Bureau was held in Queen square School Auditorium last evening with the president Frank O'Neill as chairman. .

The pruidentis report outlined the main activities of the Bureau during 1962. It stressed the fact that the bulk of the finances of the Bureau comes from the volun- taryi donations of the people. Tribute was paid to the Clergy, the Board members and all others who assisted the Bureau in its work. ' The great volume of social work and nursing service accom- plished by the limited staff! of two sisters and one registered nurse was a highlight of this report.

Sister Mary Eugene, the field secretary, read her report which was completely informative, cover- ing all the works of the Bureau during the year. and pointed out that there is an ever 'increasing need for assistance to the under- privileged and to those suffering from social ills so prevalent in the present complex society.

Right Rev. Monsignor McMahon complimented the president and the field worker on their reports and assured them that the work of the Bureau was becoming more and more recognized every year. He reminded those present that initially the Bureau owed thanks to the Congregation of Saint Mar- tha who supplied the two good Sisters. ,

The Very Rev. A. Macl..c-llan said that he could observe an awaken- ing of social consciousness amongst people, and that the endeavours of the Bureau are directly linked with i practical Christianity.

Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan com- mcnted on the reports given and said that this was one of the finest meetings he had attended in 40 yeans experience -with simi- lar organizations. He traced the history of the Bureau from its be- ginning. and said it is filling a long felt need which he has en- countered over the years as a med- ical practitioner in this City.

Mlrs. 'Walter Lawlor expressed her pleasure with the reports and. on behalf of the ladies present. extended their appreciation of the work done during the past year by all those connected with the Bureau.

Mr. Gerald Johnston was elected president. for the ensuing year. with the following officers com- pleting the slate:-
